Chapter 50 Palace Banquet (4)(1/2)
Chapter 50 Palace Banquet (IV)
"...Madam, is she unwell?"
Gu Xiyan suddenly looked up and faced Xiao Rang's inquiring eyes.
She looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her and was inexplicably breathless.
In the last life, it would be fine if two men were ruthless and unintentional.
But in this life, she finally made up her mind not to think about the past and wanted to be a loving couple with Xiao Rang... Just a few days later, Concubine Yin ran out again?
If it was an unmarried woman, it would be fine... but that was the concubine of the current dynasty!
Could it be that there is really something between Concubine Yin and Xiao Rang that she doesn’t know about the past?
Gu Xiyan sat there, his heart full of sorrow, and he was still confused.
Xiao Rang looked at Gu Xiyan with a confused look on his face and frowned, "If your wife is uncomfortable, I will take a look at it."
Gu Xiyan suddenly came back to his senses and smiled, "Mr. Marquis, I'm fine."
"It's just that I've been sitting in the hall for a long time and I feel a little stuffy and can't breathe.
I want to... go out and have some breathing."
Seeing that she was not in a state at this moment, Xiao Rang asked her mother Gui to take the brocade cloak and follow her out, taking good care of her.
...
Behind Chengguang Palace is a garden with excellent scenery, called Yichun Garden.
Just now in the hall, Gu Xiyan seemed to have been pinched to his throat, and his mind was blank.
Therefore, he left the gate of Chengguang Palace. As soon as he entered Yichun Garden, Gu Xiyan called the maid and "just follow him far behind, don't come up to disturb me."
Plum trees are planted in Yichun Garden. The red plum blossoms are now clustered with red plum blossoms and the thick snow on the ground. They are truly shining with each other.
Gu Xiyan was in the plum tree and walked forward like he lost his soul. Before he knew it, he had already walked to the depths of Yichun Garden.
The fragrance came to her nose. She pulled her dress and ran for a few steps, leaned over and lie on the white jade railing and took a few breaths. Unconsciously, some crystal tears gushed out of the corners of her eyes.
It is necessary to have a close relationship to use the same special formula spice!
In my mind, fragments of memory flashed one after another, connecting them into a complete vein - when I first met in the empress dowager that day, Concubine Yin looked at Gu Xiyan up and down; when I was hunting in the Fanglin, Concubine Yin caught up and invited Gu Xiyan to speak in the tent, but was blocked by Xiao Rang on the spot like avoiding snakes and scorpions...
All these seemingly "accidental" actions have been explained.
Before I knew it, tears were flowing all over my face.
Gu Xiyan raised his hand and wiped his tears. He was about to hold the railing and straighten up, but his feet slipped and he fell into the thick snow.
The night and snow are reflected. In the depths of the plum forest, there is a lake water under the white jade railing. At this time, the edge of the lake is covered with heavy snow. In the vast night, it is not very clear.
It was not until the silk stockings under his feet were wet that Gu Xiyan became panicked and was about to call for help, but unexpectedly, someone grabbed his wrist and pulled it up vigorously.
Gu Xiyan was suddenly pulled up, but he didn't stand firmly and fell on the snow again. She subconsciously looked up at the person, facing the face of the breeze and bright moon.
The man was still wearing a white brocade robe, wearing a moon-white cloak outside, and the jade tree stood there in the wind, with a clear and low voice: "The lake in Yichunyuan is thousands of feet deep and cold, and the lady must be careful."
"Thank you for your help."
Gu Xiyan smiled and noticed a coldness coming from under him. Before he could react, he was still sitting on the snow.
She was about to struggle to get up when the man in white reached out and stopped in front of Gu Xiyan's eyes.
Gu Xiyan pursed her lips and did not put on the slender big hand.
Unexpectedly, when the man in white saw that Gu Xiyan was motionless, he stretched out his hand, held Gu Xiyan's wrist through his sleeve, and pulled her out of the snow.
Before Gu Xiyan could stand firm, he hurriedly broke free from the man's hand and took two steps back, with three points of anger in his beautiful eyes, "Why is the young master so abrupt and ungrateful--"
There is no one around at the moment. As a married woman, Gu Xiyan is no longer abides by etiquette when meeting a man with a foreigner, let alone physical contact?
!
"Mrs. Don't thank me."
The man in white smiled slightly, took Gu Xiyan's reprimand as thanks, and rushed back with a big effort.
Gu Xiyan was so angry that he stood there and glared at him angrily.
The man still smiled, bowed and said, "Forgive the sin", and left.
Between the numerous palaces and towers, there are lights of palace lanterns.
The snow and the moonlight complement each other, and the night light shows the fragrance of plum blossoms.
In a blink of an eye, the man in white disappeared into this "Moonlight Night Plum Blossom Picture" and went nowhere.
In the room, Mama Gui chased after her with a brocade cloak rolling with rabbit fur. When she saw Gu Xiyan, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It can be considered catching up with the mistress."
"The nobles in Chengguang Hall are having fun. The cold wind outside is strong, and the cold wind has not healed. So, let's go back soon."
Gu Xiyan had been outside for a long time, and his chaotic mood was calmer by the northwest wind. Hearing that Mother Gui said, she suddenly felt chills.
Gu Xiyan nodded, "Let's go back."
...
In Chengguang Hall, Emperor Cheng'an, Empress Xie and several concubines all left the scene, leaving only the ministers and family members in the hall, drinking and greeting each other in three or three.
Before the banquet table, Xiao Rang and the King of Huainan were raising their glasses to greet a man in white.
The King of Huainan raised his wine glass and said, "...I haven't seen you for six years since I left last time. Brother Ziguang is stationed in Jiangnan and Huainan for many years. When I return to Beijing this time, I will definitely get together."
The man in white smiled, "It is Han's blessing to be able to share the worries of the emperor."
Just now, Gu Xiyan stepped into the hall and saw the familiar figure at a glance. When he approached, he looked closely and saw that the man who greeted King Huainan and Xiao Rang was the young man in white who had saved her twice just now!
Gu Xiyan thought for a while, but still didn't remember who the word "Ziguang" was. While racking his brains, Princess Huiru walked to her side and looked at Gu Xiyan's gaze with dissatisfaction, "I sat in this palace banquet for a long time, so I was so bored.
I had already agreed with the prince to go back to the prince's mansion, but the prince of the Korean Duke's mansion suddenly came to toast. The three of them had been greeting for a long time, and they didn't know what to say. It was really annoying!"
When Gu Xiyan heard this, he was stunned.
This man in white turned out to be Han Ye!
It is actually the future Korean Duke Han Ye!
In the last life, when Emperor Cheng'an was lingering in his sick bed, his will was sealed in the central palace.
The prince and the fourth prince fought blatantly - Xiao Rang, the leader of the prince's party, and Han Ye.
At that time, the two armies were fighting, and Han Ye led 5,000 elite troops, forcing the prince to retreat step by step and fall into a desperate situation.
Unexpectedly, there was no way out for mountains and rivers. At the moment of life and death, Xiao Rang led his troops to counterattack and surrounded Han Ye's army under Yishan.
The war was stalemate for two years, and when the storm was in turmoil, thieves were everywhere, living beings were in trouble, and the people were displaced.
In the last life, Gu Xiyan only knew the beginning of the disaster, but before the war ended, he died tragically under the sword of the uprising before he could see who would fall into the hands of the world.
Gu Xiyan looked at the three people not far away, and his heart was like a drum beat.
In the last life, even though Gu Xiyan was in the boudoir, he had heard people say that Han Ye was always called "crawling with tricks and vicious means."
But she never expected that such a person with a reputation for being raped and poison would be born like a white paper that is not touched by dust!
Gu Xiyan was anxious. She had never wanted to know the ending she missed in her previous life.
The battle for the Nine Dragons throne in the Golden Palace is either you die or I live.
But Gu Xiyan's heart fell into the ice cellar - she couldn't imagine what would happen if the prince lost and Xiao Rang lost.
...
Inner Palace, Yongchun Palace.
"Since he is protecting her, her eyes are all about her... OK, I insist on telling him that he is not satisfied!"
After returning from Chengguang Palace, Concubine Yin was so angry that she was so angry that she not only smashed the things on the ground, but also punished several palace maids.
Master Rui'an knelt on the ground, looking at the angry Concubine Yin, thinking about it, he couldn't help but remind him, "Last time, Lord Xie was afraid that he had already known about the assassination of the Madam Pingyang Marquis! The noble man of the heavenly noble was "moving his hair and pulling his whole body". The Madam must think twice before acting..."
"Dog slave!"
I saw Concubine Yin shook her sleeves, her phoenix eyes were full of anger, "What should I do in this palace? I thank you, Lord Wang, can you control it for the rest of my life?
!”
"You will go to the Xie family to pass on the message tomorrow - the people from the Imperial Heaven Sect, and this palace has already prepared the matter.
If Lord Xie wants the officials of Jiangnan Road to survive this disaster safely, he will do what our palace wants him to do - to pull Gu into the water as much as he can!"
Ruian was shocked when he heard this, lowered his head and kept silent.
Concubine Yin sighed, caressed the long armor inlaid with treasures in her hand, and squinted her eyes, "A few days ago, a generation of wealthy families in Jiangnan raised disaster relief food, wasn't it still involved a corruption case?
I heard that the ancestors of Gu and Jiangsu and Zhejiang clans in the court had the favor of Qin and Jin, but I had to ask my adoptive father to investigate strictly!”
Ruian swallowed his saliva and had to obey his bow, "Sister obeys the order!"
Looking at the figure of Ruian turning and leaving, a cold voice rose from the corner of Concubine Yin's lips, "I want to see, one day, Gu will become the daughter of a sinner who everyone scolds. Is he still protecting her like this!"
...
To be continued...
